Package: scrollkeeper
Version: 0.3.14-9.1
Severity: important

scrollkeeper-update segfaults with no other output. Although I have no experience debugging I ran it under strace, with this output (tailed):

stat64("/usr/share/xml/scrollkeeper/dtds/scrollkeeper-omf.dtd", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=11035, ...}) = 0
open("/usr/share/xml/scrollkeeper/dtds/scrollkeeper-omf.dtd", O_RDONLY) = 3
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=11035, ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x4032b000
read(3, "<!-- \nOpen Source Metadata Frame"..., 16384) = 11035

read(3, "", 4096)                       = 0
close(3)                                = 0
munmap(0x4032b000, 4096)                = 0
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---

Seems to be unmapping some memory.
Any ideas why this is happening on my system? Suggestions?
